Valentines Day Look 1 – Cruelty Free Makeup

Hello! Valentines is fast approaching and in order to cover every occasion I have collated cruelty free makeup products for two different makeup looks. The first look would be more appropriate for a night out with a flawless base and red lip. The second look (which I will post tomorrow, so make sure you’re subscribed!) is more subtle and soft with rosy lips and cheeks.

I started with my Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum foundation in 52 Vanilla (see my post here about the cruelty status of Bourjois and why I will no longer be purchasing from this brand, however it was the fullest coverage foundation I currently own which is why I have featured it here). This will provide a flawless base. I used a buffing brush to work this into the skin, making sure to blend down my neck. I then applied the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in 1 Fair for under the eyes and any spots. This is a fantastic concealer and is a bit lighter than my skin tone which is great for brightening under the eyes. I then set my base products with the Soap and Glory One Heck of a Blot Translucent Powder. This is a great powder that mattifies without making you look flat of cakey.

For blush I used my Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blush in Exposed, which is a great mauve nude that goes with a lot of makeup looks. It adds life to my face without adding a strong distinct colour on my cheeks. The highlight I used is The Balm Mary Lou Manizer which is a beautiful champagne. I added this along my cheekbone as well as in the inner corner of my eyes. For my lipstick I used the Ofra Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Ultimate Red. A red lip creates a classic ‘Valentines’ look. The liquid lipstick formula will help the colour last while eating or drinking.

So those are the cruelty free makeup products that can create a ‘classic’ Valentines Day look with a flawless base and red lip.
